^ This. Always loved the Fallout / Fallout 2 soundtrack, both in-game and out, and since composer Mark Morgan remastered and released the soundtrack for free, I've always kept a copy in the car for listening whenever, or for those long mid-night drives through vast, open spaces. Eerie, wonderful ambiance.

Others that come readily to mind include Heroes of Might and Magic III, Master of Orion II, and Thexder (DOS, yeah, baby!). And the music in Endless Space is decent (there; that's 5 (-: ). FTL's soundtrack is decent, too. But Fallout is definitely my top favorite, by a mile.

See when the International Space Station and other cool space objects will be visible at your location - anywhere you are on the Earth! http://www.heavens-above.com/

FTL is actually tied for my favorite soundtrack for games. This sounds strange but sometimes I'll just listen to it in bed at night in the pitch black. Unfortunately this reminds me that my childhood dream of captaining a space ship is long dead and very impossible but lets stick to the happy thoughts haha. I'd also say the halo soundtracks collectively are very good and borderlands 2 at least has some nice combat music from time to time.

2. The binding of Isaac: Afterbirth - Really fits the game, with a ruin-like, mysterious sound to it.

3. FTL: Always a music for every moment, yet everything fits smoothly under space-theme.

4. Undertale: Like FTL, always a music for the theme of the moment, and there's always variety.

5. Kerbal Space Program: Because tinker music is fun when you're building a 100-ton Booster monstrosity, but what's glorious is the music when that monstrosity gets into orbit.** Monstrosity may not get to orbit.

1) The Legend of Zelda series: There's no game which I can separate out as having the best soundtrack, but Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess always got me2) FTL: Ben Prunty did a fantastic job of this one3) Mirror's Edge: I enjoyed the soundtrack a lot on this one, and the new change of pace with a game about parkour really intrigued me4) Portal 1/2: Both of these had incredible soundtracks, nothing much to add really5) Skyrim: The Elder Scrolls series has a good track record, but this game takes it to a whole new level
